Where is the browser cache file in Firefox 5.0? It's my understanding that in prior versions, one only had to type "about:cache" in the address bar to retrieve the cache file. But this doesn't work on 5.0. I want to retrieve sound files from Cornell.edu ornithology website but cannot find where the file is located. In IE6.0 one only had to go to tools > internet options > settings > view files = viola!! As for prior versions of Firefox, the plug-in CacheViewer was very helpful but is incompatible w/ Firefox 5.0. Please help!

Typing about:cache in the location bar still works. See screenshot. Maybe you spelt it incorrectly?

A-OK, Xircal. Absolutely correct. I had a space where it should not have been. Problem solved. Thx bunches.
